clear, and-exactdescription oithe invention, such aswill enable othersaslnlled in the art to whichv it appertains'gtomake and use 1 the same. j*

and particularly to a detachableguide oigtip t is. well? known to the {users thus seriously interfering with the proper and effective use ofthe apparatus. The'said;

tips or guides are especially on, metal rods securely attached to the rod and-it has heretofore been impossible to quickly and easily replace the injured tip or guide. Evenon bamboo, or other wooden fishing rods,1t 1s a long and fdifiicult' task-to properly attach aguide. 1

It is an objectof this invention, therefore, to provide a guide or tip which can be easily and quickly applied to the rodwhen desired; I V

It is a further object of the invention to provide such a device comprising-. spaced arms embracing the rod andwhich can be clamped to the same in various'position's thereon and to varying'diameters thereof; 7

These and other objects and advantages of the invention will be fully set fo'rth'in the following description made inthe con-v nection with the accompanying-drawings in which like referencecharacters refer to the same parts throughout the diflerent'views and inwhich,

Fig. 1 is a view in elevation of a portion of a fishing rod showing the device of the. V V

v to the, rod, the arms 4: are place'dyon each 1 side thereof as shown in Figs. 2 andB'iand a sleeve member screwed onto the ends'jo'f I arms 4. The arms twill thusybe contracted and made to tightly "clamp the rod..' If the invention applied thereto; Fig. 2 is a View inside elevation, partly in section showing a portionof the rod with 7 one of the devices attached thereto and shown on an enlarged scale;

accordance with. the. present invention, I the {device} is 1 formed 1 comprising the ri ger annularmemberg2-which1maybe'iorrned ofwire: or cincularcross section=as shown", 1 .i 1 ,orwhich lhflyg'be composedyofagateior other I This-invention zrelates 11130 11, fishing rod material commonly used forlsuchidevices.

.Tlie member 2 is embraced, by and 'tsecured I to the member "3, lwhich memher extends V tlromqthe, sidethereofiland -lhasits ends '7 formed,as'jspacedarmsthaving their inner r sides concave and form'ed torfit the sidesof j 7O f.

the rod 1. The outer sides of the arms rare threaded fand adapted tocreceive one of a on theirexterior surfaces. It will'be noted noted from Fig.- -7 that'ithe outer sides of the 5111118 4: taper toward their ends so that each other or contracted.

' When the device is used [to form'oneiof" 7 when one of ,the knurled 'sleevesis screwedj thereon, thearms will-:be' moved .itowardf the guides which are disposed alongthe side of rod 1,'the arms 4 will extend substantially i at a right angleto the plane ofthe'annular i member 2. When "the device is. constructed? to be,.used;as a tip for the rod, the arms-l a. s in Fig. ,1.

'willextendfat,an obtuse angle toithe'plarnz v, of the annular 'meniber g asclearly shown J" guide is placed on thefpart of the rod-having i will be used. and if the diameter is lar er one of the larger sleeves will be used. The

guide can thus be clamped along any portion of the rod desired. The guide used as a tip, as shown inFig. 1 will be similarly applicant has provided an extremelysimple' and a very efiicient detachable guide or tip. Such guides will have great utility as emer-' gency guides when one of the regular guides on the fishing rod is broken off or. injured. While the guide is designed primarily for emergency use, it will be obvious that the structure forms a simple and neat guide attachment which can be used on the'rods as originally made and marketed. The'guides will, of course be made of the proper'sizc to suit steel or wooden rods and it is within the scope of the invention to use sucha guide for a cut rod or one made from the limb or trunk of a tree. A fishing rod can thus be quickly constructed and it will be only necessary to carrytwo or three of the guides in tails and proportions of the device withoutdeparting from the scope of applicants invention, which generally stated consists in the manner shown and described and set forth in the appended claims.

What is claimed is:

spaced means longitudinally tapered secured thereto formed to fit ,saidrod and a clamp ing means movable longitudinally of the rod 1. A detachable guide or tip device for afishing rod comprising an annular member,

and said spaced means for moving said means together to secure the same to the rod. I

2. A device of the class described compris-v ing a glude ring, a member embracing and v p secured to the same, havingflaterallyex;-

tended, taperedand exterior-1y threaded arms, said arms being concave-on their inner surfaces to fit along the sides of a fishing rod and a threaded sleeve adapted to be screwed onto said arms toclamp the same on sa d'rod. I

*3. A device of the class described having 7 in combination, an annulargiude member,

means secured thereto comprising spaced and being'exteriorly tapered and threaded and adapted to receive one of a plurality of interiorly threaded sleeves.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
